Herringbone Kitchen Tiles

A kitchen splashback carries more visual weight than almost any other surface in the room, and our herringbone tiles give that space something to look at beyond a run of plain metro. Set behind a hob or across a full run of units, the angled, interlocking format catches light differently depending on where you're standing, giving the wall a sense of movement rather than one flat plane and turning a hardworking zone into a genuine focal point.

Scaled down into a smaller, parquet-style format, the same pattern works just as well underfoot, bringing a wood-floor feel to a surface that has to earn its keep day to day. Either way, the arrangement suits a plain, unfussy worktop and cabinetry, since the pattern itself does the work a busier colour scheme might otherwise need to.

All it takes is a long, narrow tile shape, which is what makes herringbone such a flexible, refined choice for a kitchen, whether the end goal is a splashback, an upstand, or a full floor.
